Triple Negative BC Clinical Trial
September 29, 2008
by MedicalNewsToday.com
 Researchers at the Cancer Institure of New Jersey (CINJ) are investigating a new combination of chemotherapy
drugs targeted at patients who have been diagnosed with previously
untreated triple-negative metastatic breast cancer. Triple negative is
a type of breast cancer that does not express estrogen or progesterone
receptors or HER2 protein. Thus, standard treatments with hormone
blocking agents and agents that target HER2 such as tamoxifen and the
antibody herceptin,
respectively, are ineffective weapons against this subtype of breast
cancer. As a result, women with triple negative breast cancer have a
shorter survival and identifying better combinations of chemotherapy
and novel biologic agents that are effective in this disease is
critical.

April 1, 2008
by Wall Street Journal writer Elizabeth Bernstein
A few years ago, my sister called to tell me my mother had just been diagnosed with leukemia. After we hung up and I prepared to call my mom, I realized I had absolutely no idea what to say to her. It took me four hours to make the call.
I learned a lasting lesson that day: There isn't anything correct to say to someone reeling from the shock of a cancer diagnosis. But in helping my mom through her illness, I also discovered that some ways of showing support are better than others. And while there's no right approach, there may indeed be wrong things to say or do.
